Please Mr. Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me?
(Please, please Mr. Postman)
'Cause it's takin' a very long time?
(Oh yeah)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please Mr. Postman, look and see
Is there a letter, a letter for me?

I've been standin' here waitin', Mr. Postman
So, so patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me

(Please Mr. Postman)
Mr. Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
Is there a letter in your bag for me?
(Please, please Mr. Postman)
'Cause it's takin' a very long time?
(Oh yeah)
Since I heard from this boyfriend of mine

So many days you passed me by
You saw the tears standin' in my eye
You wouldn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter

Please Mr. Postman look and see
(Postman, Postman)
Is there a letter, oh yeah, in your bag for me?
(Postman, Postman)
You know it's been so long
(Postman, Postman)
Yes, since I heard from this boyfriend of mine
(Postman, Postman)

You better wait a minute, wait a minute
(Wait, wait a minute)
Oh, you better wait a minute
(Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman)
Please, please Mr. Postman
(Wait, wait a minute Mr. Postman)
Please check and see just one more time for me
